The design of a new training sailing ship to replace S/V Dar Młodzieży, in service for more than 40 years, will be presented on 10 October at the Maritime Economy Forum in Gdynia. Construction of the vessel has been estimated at about PLN 300 million under a government programme supporting maritime education worth almost PLN 1 billion for two vessels, for Gdynia Maritime University and the Maritime University of Szczecin. Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Arkadiusz Marchewka stressed the strategic importance of the investment for Polish maritime personnel. Dar Młodzieży was designed by Zygmunt Choreń and the vessel was launched in 1981.
The construction of the new tall ship is estimated at around PLN 300 million and forms part of a broader government programme worth nearly PLN 1 billion, dedicated to strengthening maritime education through the commissioning of two new vessels – for the Gdynia Maritime University and the Maritime University of Szczecin.
According to Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Arkadiusz Marchewka, the initiative is of strategic importance for the development of Poland’s maritime workforce and for maintaining the country’s international standing in seafaring.
Designed by renowned naval architect Zygmunt Choreń, Dar Młodzieży has served as both an ambassador of Poland at sea and a training platform for thousands of cadets since her launch in 1981. Her successor will continue this mission, combining the tradition of sail training ships with modern technological solutions.
The project presentation will be a highlight of this year’s Forum and a milestone event for the entire maritime economy sector.
